I was reading from ATI about Psoriasis and found that tar preparations (birch, pine, juniper) are anti-inflammatory and suppress proliferation of cells. Wow, so this is how they used to make birch tar. 🤯There is so much to learn that people knew thousands of years ago.

Why is no one talking in these videos? Don't you wanna teach people? Or is your confidence so low you think your words are not worth speaking, damn it!?

long lasting fire but not the warmest. most of the heat is radiated upward, can't focus toward you.

Another excellent video. I live nowhere near the sea but I always thought salt water would dry materials out because of the salt? Maybe that's why the cord broke?

doing similar work with willow bark soaked in ashwater. getting similar results. i also have a nice pot of tanin that was once ashwater

Three long bottom logs, two long logs on top of three.. one long log on top of the two logs. Less calories burned, more energy saved, and good 8 hour heat! Nuff said.

Burn up energy stores..... Don't do this!

Is the long pole attached to the log supposed to stop the log from moving?

This is so awesome thank you for sharing the technique of this so clearly Mattias. Ive grown up making fires since a small girl and taught both my sons how to make fires, yet lve never seen nor heard of this way before and its an excellent kind of fire. Our winters are cold here where l am located in southern Australia yet this looks so warm and viable

Nice video about the old ways of doing things. But the illusion is crushed by the road noise from the nearby big road.

Why wouldnt we use three logs instead of one? Two at the bottom and one on top? More wood easier and perhaps more safe? No risk upper log might fall down.

I learned something new, thanks

My favourite part was 05:56

Fuckin WHAT!?! This is the go!!

The side of your body that isn't facing the fire must be freezing, isn't it?

Greetings from Brazil! Thank you very much for the instructions!

Q 1.Could staking it vertically along the horizontal axis do the same as that wedge and greenwood? 2. Can that type of timber be split 🪓 to make the flat surface or does it shatter in different shapes?

i have the same knife! (6:25)

It’s the little things! Hope to see more videos, always great to learn from the experts.

Thanks for the rose hip tea and spruce bundle tips Mattias. Beautiful forest.

Phew a lot of work and energy

Looks great.

You turned this ancient method of fire making into a work of art Mattias! Well done 👍 in the Northern Boreal of east central Canada here would be hard pressed to find logs of this diameter that aren’t deteriorating too much from laying on the forest floor and will many knots from our species of jack pine, perhaps Finding a white spruce would be the best bet here but not as plentiful in these parts. Don’t think trembling aspen would provide enough heat or time burning but worth a try, maybe use a 3 log method.

Wasting of time!

Wow, for a very well done video showing how to make a particular type of fire, a lot of viewers sure like to throw considerable shade on Mattias' demonstration.

Superb, sub'd

I'd be warm enough just doing the preparation. I think I'd have lost a few fingers, hit myself in the head with the tomahawk and been covered in sap. My crotch scorched and been run over by an errant log by dawn😊.

Everything you need is in the woods given you have a few tools 🙏🪓🥄🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

*spends 4 days of hard labor making a canoe. *burns it as fire wood

Very cool

Kind of warm on your front, freezing on your back. Better to have one on each side.

Cuz it dark all day. Gotten.

I wish he had explained the purpose for this style of fire and had some kind of clock in the background showing how long all of this stuff takes. It’s nice seeing the technique, but I don’t see the benefits or even know the reason for going through this amount of work. I’m sure it has its purpose. I just wish I knew what it was.

I realize I'm pretty late commenting, but I'd love an answer if anyone knows. I thought Nordic countries were somewhat sparse on lumber, relative to their eastern and southern neighbors. Is this perception inaccurate, or was this Sami fire method more for special occasions?

Would obviously be nice if you learned to talk and did the narrations, explanations, etc

Beautiful fire!

Good to see your video finally got lots of views. As a long time subscriber, I was so used to being one of the few hundreds that watches your videos. They are always very educational.

a motel is much easier

Well done! I find beech hard to bow drill, maybe it's somethinh to do with my technique; I usually get dust but it rarely gets to coal. I must keep.at it since it's the predominant tree where I live. Good video! Thank you!

I get annoyed with tipping coal in the burner at bedtime, no chance I'd survive if i had to do this every night. Lemme die.

Great fire

Would be quicker to build a log cabin 😂

I've always found that pine cones and pine straw are an excellent fire starter, at least for getting kindling burning.

It’s ok not to have the camera shutter sounds in a shoot..

Ok this is pretty badass!

So cool!

Wow så häftigt! Fantastisk överlevnadskunskap. Tack för du gjorde detta och delade med dig. Vet du om det finns andra träslag än tall som man kan göra detta med? Tänker utanför Skandinavien/Europa?

so much effort for nothing, I'd prefer self feeding rolling down logs ...easy peasy!

great execution! thumbs up
